Static Routing is a manual method of defining routes in a router’s routing table. Unlike dynamic routing protocols, static routes don’t change unless manually updated by the network administrator. Key Features of Static Routing ✅ Manually Configured → Requires manual input of destination network, subnet mask, and next-hop IP.✅ Fixed Paths → Ideal for simple
IP Routing is the process of forwarding data packets from one network to another using IP addresses. It determines the best path for data to travel across interconnected networks, ensuring information reaches its intended destination efficiently. Key Concepts in IP Routing How IP Routing Works Types of Routing Example of a Routing Table Destination Network
The default gateway is a network device, usually a router, that acts as an access point for devices on a local network to communicate with other networks, such as the internet. It serves as the “default” path that data packets take when no specific route is defined for a destination. Example How to Find Your
The Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers run on IOS-XE, offering improved scalability, security, and programmability. This guide covers the basic setup and configuration of a Cisco 9800 WLC using both CLI and GUI. 1. Initial Setup of Cisco 9800 WLC Before starting, ensure:✔ You have console or SSH access to the WLC.✔ The WLC
This guide covers the essential steps to configure a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) for basic wireless connectivity. 1. Initial Setup of Cisco WLC Before configuring the WLC, ensure:✔ You have console access via CLI (Command Line Interface) or GUI (Graphical User Interface).✔ The WLC is powered on and connected to the network.✔ The APs
Cisco Access Points (APs) operate in different modes based on deployment needs. These modes define how the AP interacts with the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) and how traffic is handled. 1. Overview of Cisco AP Modes AP Mode Description Use Case Local Mode Default mode; APs tunnel all traffic to the WLC using CAPWAP. Campus
1. Introduction to Cisco Wireless Network Architecture Cisco offers a scalable, secure, and flexible wireless architecture that integrates wired and wireless networks using centralized management, intelligent access points, and robust security features. Cisco’s wireless architecture is built around the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) and Access Points (APs) that operate in different modes. The architecture ensures
Wireless encryption is essential for securing data transmitted over Wi-Fi networks, preventing unauthorized access and eavesdropping. Different encryption protocols have been developed over time, each with varying levels of security. 1. Types of Wireless Encryption Protocols Encryption Protocol Description Security Level WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) The first encryption standard for Wi-Fi. Uses 64-bit or 128-bit
1. Introduction to Wireless Security Wireless security is crucial to protect networks from unauthorized access, data theft, and cyber threats. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks use radio waves, making them more vulnerable to attacks such as eavesdropping, spoofing, and denial-of-service (DoS). 2. Common Wireless Security Threats 3. Wireless Authentication Methods To prevent unauthorized access, wireless
Wireless LAN (WLAN) based on IEEE 802.11 standards uses different types of Service Sets to define how devices communicate within a wireless network. These service sets specify the architecture and functionality of the network. Below are the key types: 1. Basic Service Set (BSS) 2. Extended Service Set (ESS) 3. Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS)
